Cena's character is directly relateable to Hogan in the 80s. Top face of the company, never loses cleanly, is ALWAYS in the main event/main feud even if the title is not involved.

He is the Viper... He isn't suppose to discuss his feelings on the mic..

He is suppose to be secretive, ready to strike at any moment.

Austin wasn't GREAT on the mic either... He just liked to swear and tell people off... Orton does that wish his facial impressions and stare downs.

Both have similiar qualities and it's definetly hampered Orton as the Viper in a PG ERA.

Austin wasn't great? GTFO. You have no clue what you're talking about. Austin was consisently solid on the mic, and his entire career was built off of and carried through what he said.

Yes, Orton is silent but deadly. Austin WAS NOT. So, where's the connection here? You have two completely different characters who have completely different motives.

The only similar quality is that they're not your prototypical, fan-pandering face. Other than that, from in ring style to mic work, there are limited similarities.

Austin was good on the MIC? Please... I'd rather have listened to George Bush speak..

Just another redneck.

He got fame for rebelling against McMahon/faces/heels and being edgy.

Ortons done the same. Can't trust either of them.

Both are assholes in real life which helped their on air character TREMENDOUSLY.

I think my generation remembers Austin for the beer truck, the monster truck, or the countless acts of vandalism in the back. Not some great promo like The Rock or Cena/Miz is use to doing.

There is one clear difference between Orton & Austin. Orton can actually wrestle.

Randy Orton is the #2 guy without question. The pops he has been getting lately are pretty damn good. Do I think he could carry the company? Not in the way Cena is, but in the way that Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were the sort of defacto guys when Hulk Hogan left.

But I think given time, The Miz could be up there. His story is very similar to The Rock's. He shows up, people give him shit and don't think he can do it, he works hard, finds his niche as an ultra-heel. It's only a matter of time before The Miz's personality and work ethic turn him babyface. Then it might be a different story. It's just timing with him at the moment.

Alberto Del Rio was another interesting one mentioned. Del Rio's actually being given this credible heel shtick. He makes top faces tap-out like bitches cleanly, and he has no fear. He gets in the face of any top guy and is all like "I can beat you...but you already know that." Down the line, if he turns face, again with the right timing and booking -- I could see him being a slightly big deal.

But if Cena left the company tomorrow, I think the way it would go is that Randy Orton is the big star on RAW they already have, they move Rey Mysterio over for the kiddies and the merchandise sales, The Miz continues to be kept "in the oven," and they move John Morrison into gear.
